Faversham Town manager Sammy Moore on a 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Lewes, the signings of striker Stefan Payne and goalkeeper Hafed Al-Droubi and the exit of Gary Lockyer

Manager Sammy Moore is preparing Faversham to host early frontrunners Fisher - but isn’t reading much into the league table yet.

Town have had two wins and two defeats at the start of their Southern Counties East Premier Division season.

This Saturday’s visitors Fisher lead the way, having only dropped points once in their first five games.

But Moore, whose side will also host Bearsted on Tuesday, said: “I think the table is pretty false at the minute.

“I don’t really look at the league table until 15 games in. You play a lot of cup matches and it’s hard to get momentum going but we picked up form in the league with a good win against Whitstable.

“We’re coming up against a good Fisher side.

“They’re a little bit off-the-cuff. They don’t really have a pattern of play - but they’re effective.

“There’s no easy games in this league but we have two home games coming up now. We’re certainly not panicking.”

Moore saw his side suffer their first defeat on their new 3G pitch, losing 4-0 to Isthmian Premier Lewes in the FA Cup First Qualifying Round on Saturday.

Debutant striker Stefan Payne had a goal disallowed and Moore felt the visitors could have been reduced to 10 men.

He reflected: “I thought we started well in the first 25 or 30 minutes.

“We had a good goal disallowed. Watching it back on video, he’s perfectly onside.

“Five minutes or so after that, Kieron Campbell goes down. The referee said he wasn’t going to get the ball - I’m absolutely baffled by that decision.

“You need those decisions to go your way when you play against good sides.

“I’m not one to talk about the officials but I was disappointed in those decisions. Those key moments can really change the game.

“I’m disappointed in the manner of the goals, as well.
